Gripping and hard to forget novel about the darker side of Victorian England with its cholera epidemic, masses of poor yearning to move to New Zealand and Canada, classism, sexism, and amidst all this is the heroine, a very beautiful upper class young woman experiencing the worst familial taboo that can be inflicted upon her.
This is an interesting historical novel/adventure story set in London during a cholera epidemic. I couldn't put it down once I started it.
